Hoping for Fireworks
Your smile lit up my room
 no lightbulb shines brighter
 Finally everything seemed clear, 
 not blurry and out of view
 
 You laid on my bed
 giggling at my sarcastic thoughts
 and you, with your short, hard quips-
 jabbing into my brain, you name
 
 You stared at me seemingly
 No purpose intended 
 And all that I kept close
 was the hope for your hand in mine
 
 But it occured to me
 Am I reading into you too close? 
 Your smile melted my mirror
 and sent chills down my spine
 
 But what did it do for you? 
 Looking into your eyes, 
 I saw bombs exploding
 instead of the fireworks I had hoped for
 
 The longing keeps me on my toes
 But I'm not sure where this crooked lane goes
